Is it a sturdy tripod?

Yes. The tripod is very sturdy as long as once it is position all the clamps are clamped down and screws are all tightened. I have used mine for years and it is a great item for the amateur photographer. Cheers.

Not a lot. It's a very lightweight tripod and must be used on a solid, level surface. It probably could support a lighter dslr with a lightweight prime lens. But that would be the max. It's not the most stable tripod in the world, but it is small and light.

Yes. Or at least mine certainly does. Oddly the stabilization goes a bit wonky if there is no motion at all, so just don't use it when you're on a tripod.

I think is of OK quality. It isnt going to just fall apart in the middle of using it. However it is light weight enough to make windy conditions a concern. I think that if you plan on the kind of shooting where you will be needing a tripod often, you will probably want to go with a higher quality item. However if you are like me and just need a tripod for maybe 2-3 occasions per year this one will do fine.

Technically. However it's not that quick, although I've only had the tripod for a few weeks so it might loosen up. I really like it.

I would get a very sturdy tripod as this is a heavy scope. I used an existing tripod I had and it has adjustable legs and tilt. Works well but I would prefer one more sturdy. I use mine for bird watching and astronomy from my deck where I can move it around easily.

This is the tripod that I use with this scope and it's very sturdy: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002IKQP4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's a little heavy and the legs aren't quick release, but is definitely stable enough to take advantage of the wonderful optics of the scope. I use this all the time while birding in grassland areas and at the shore. Not great for hiking with as it is heavy.

It should hold it just fine. Bear in mind it isn't a heavy duty tripod, and it won't take getting knocked around much, but for the price it's been great.

If the camera is light, it will balance, but it is not made for that. I would not suggest it for use as a tripod It is meant as a monopod, but the feet do help keep it steady

No. It's not very sturdy. I put a Canon T5i camera with a long throw lens (about 4 pounds) on it and it was very noisy and struggled. I was not very happy with this product and would only recommend it for people wanting to display stuff like jewelry or other VERY light items.

Yes it is sturdy enough. I have used it several times. I am very pleased with it.

Yes I think so, It's a very strong tripod. Really well made and easy to use. I'm very happy with it.

Not really. It is a tank. Best tripod I've ever owned but not really for travel. Too heavy.

It is a great little travel tripod but for long exposure it might be a bit wobbly. I use it for long exposure but if you have too much wind or or bumps it will likely absorb that more than a more sturdy tripod. If this is your only tripod and you are wanting to do long exposure, I would choose something bigger and more stable.

Umm... I would prolly not get this tripod. I only use this for a JVC camcorder. It is pretty small and for the most part "solid", but prolly would be rather shaky and there's a pretty good chance it would keep falling over.

Yes and no. Yes it is very stable and strong, it will support your rig. The no part is this, I would put a fluid video head on it for a smoother movement. I have used the included head for video and it works. A fluid head works a tad bit smoother. I love this tripod, it is the one of my four that I use the most.

It has been working fine with my photo equipment. I am very careful with my cameras and the tripods (yes I have three tripods). I have not had any problems neither with the head nor the legs of this one. But I am an old man in my mid 60's so I am careful and fully "cognizant" of what I am doing with a 6K to 10 K camera systems. So, my tripods are neither abused nor mishandled. Now, if you are to invest in a "better", hence more expensive, ball-head, then go ahead and spend some more and get a much better tripod. I hear that the best carbon fiber tripods from Europe cost close to $1000.00 or more. I declare that I am neither the manufacturer nor the seller of this item. Therefore, I have no data on its strength and endurance. Contact the manufacturer for such unwise questions instead asking another customer of this tripod unit. I have been happy with it.
